elf_getbase(3E)   MISC. REFERENCE MANUAL PAGES    elf_getbase(3E)



NAME
     elf_getbase - get the base offset for an object file

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ...  -lelf [library ...]

     #include <libelf.h>

     off_t elf_getbase(Elf *elf);

DESCRIPTION
     elf_getbase returns the file offset of the first byte of the
     file  or  archive member associated with elf, if it is known
     or obtainable, and -1 otherwise.  A null elf is allowed,  to
     simplify  error  handling;  the return value in this case is
     -1.  The base offset of an archive member is  the  beginning
     of  the  member's  information,  not  the  beginning  of the
     archive member header.
